Question

A rectangular garden 70m long and 35m broad has a unitorm path of Sm with around
on the outside. Find
a) the area of the path.
b) the cost of levelling the path at 10/m²​

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of original garden =90×75=6750m

2

After path is added around rectangle, new length =90+2×5=100 m

new breadth =75×2×5=85 m

Area of rectangle with path =100×85=8500m

2

So area of path = Area of rectangle with path − Area of rectangle without path

Area of path =8500−6750=1750m
